RE: ITEMS FOR THE APRIL 19, 1988 COUNCIL MEETING
NEW BUSINESS
Storm Sewer Connection Charge
At the April 11, 1988 Utility Commission Meeting the Commission recommended
establishing a storm sewer connection charge for new development. The connection
charge that the Commission and Staff is recommending is $200.00 per single family
unit. This connection charge would be collected from new construction and
subdivisions platted since 1985 or existing subdivisions in 1988 that are less
than 90% developed.
The need for this charge is to finance the core storm sewer facilities such as
storm sewer oversizing, pond acquisition and development and pond control
structures and overflow lines.
With the storm sewer connection charge the City can be more equitable in dealing
with developers that are required to dedicate a portion of their property in
ponding easement as opposed to the developments where no ponding easements are
required. The developments with dedicated ponding can be allowed a credit to the
connection charge while the developments that do not need to dedicate any ponding
would pay for the necessary connection charges. For example, this would help
equalize the burden of a parcel that has to dedicate ponding easement with a
parcel that does not have to dedicate any area for ponding easement.
Attached is the map and a list of the subdivisions which meet either the 1985
platting requirement or the greater than 90% developed in 1988 requirement.
The $200.00 figure is our best estimate at this time as to core facility cost.
However, once the master storm sewer plan is completed, then we can reevaluate
the connection charge with respect to the core cost. We are requesting to
implement this charge now so that we will not lose out on about 200 building
permits we plan on receiving this year, or about $40,000 in revenue.
For multiple and commercial establishments I would recommend using 1.5 and 2.0
times the residential equivalent respectively. The residential equivalent would
be based on net acreage at 3 residential units per acre for single family. Then
single family would basically be $600 per acre, multiple would be $900 per acre,
and commercial would be $1,200 per acre.
If Council has any questions, concerns or comments regarding this proposal,
please feel free to contact me at Councils convenience.
